Today is the Day

- Today is the Day
- Ask yourself, "Do you WANT to be separated from God for eternity?"
- If you don't accept Jesus as your savior that's what's going to happen.
You may be a nice person.
You give your time to help those in need.
But if you don't have a relationship with the Christian God, that is not going to get you to heaven.
The Bible says that the only way into Heaven is through Jesus. It's time you step up and accept him.
- TODAY is the day.
You may not get another chance.
- What will you do if you reject the Christian God, and tomorrow you die and later are judged before God?
What will you answer when he asks you why you didn't accept him?
You can't say you didn't know. We just told you. You may never get another chance.
- It may be hard, but wouldn't you work hard to get that new car or whatever else you want?
Wouldn't you work hard to achieve your dreams?
Let me tell you something, God can help you with all of that and bring peace into your mind.
But, you have to go all the way. It's All Or Nothing.
No luke-warm no "oh I'll just do this and then repent".
That's not the way to live. Doing that won't get you into Heaven to live with your creator, your father.
- It's really hard but in the end wouldn't you say it's worth it?
It's easy to live in this world. To cuss, lie, cheat, steal.
It's hard to give up that life if you've lived it for so long.
No one is perfect. Don't think that if you accept God you have to be perfect.
God doesn't expect that. When you pray and your prayers aren't answered, don't fret.
God sometimes doesn't grant your wish because he wants it to be that way. You can say it's mean and cruel.
But God is selfish. That's something you need to know.
He doesn't want you to live for the world, to be like everyone else.
He wants you to live for HIM. And him only. After all, he did create you.
So next time you cuss or sin. Think of this; Is that the right way to live?
- You can always close you eyes to the things you don't want to see;
but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel...
- There is a voice that is calling you, that is drawing you to God...
Will you hear it? Will you feel it? Will you respond to the call?
